Hijab

Well, because I believe that women should wear the veil. If someone else has a different interpretation or feels that modern times don't have Muslim women in harms way for the reason that the Prophet Muhammad originally encouraged it, then them dressing modestly without hijab is enough. Am I suppose to kill them or something? The wearing of hijab has been on and off for thousands of years in the Muslim world through a number of different political and social landscapes. Women in Egypt didn't really start wearing it until the 1950's. The entire issue of hijab is not just "theyre forced to wear it, they're opressed.

I haven't heard of most Muslims say it's entirely the woman's fault for being raped if she doesn't dress modestly, but I also don't think we should pretend that a woman's body and seduction has no power over a man which can influence the man into committing a terrible crime. Obviously the man is entirely responsible for his own actions, but the good thing about Islam is that it recognizes, to a degree, the obvious dynamics of life and nature, and doesn't try to pretend that they don't exist like the liberals of today.

I've enjoyed watching this battle of extremes. Very entertaining depiction of the failure of multiculturalism. Both sides bicker until one is destroyed. Fantastic.

Multiculturalism can only go as far as the cultures being brought together allow. It does not mean multiculturalism cannot work or is a failure, it simply means the cultures being brought together must allow for a measure of divergence and convergence between them.

I think it's a misnomer to say that a multiculturalism that works allows for divergence and convergence. That isn't multiculturalism, that's the creation of one singular new culture at the cost of destroying the old cultures. Hence, it's a failure. It leads to violence or it kills the underlying cultures.

They cannot coexist. Converge or die. Not literally but you know what I mean. It ain't multiculturalism anymore though.

Just because I BELIEVE that wearing the hijab obligatory doesn't mean I need to force someone WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IT IS OBLIGATORY to wear it. If I feel what's best for my daughter is going to Harvard, but she disagrees and thinks she should go to Yale, I would still think she should go to Harvard but can't force her to. Do you really have trouble understanding this?

This conversation is very interesting to me and very not worth having with someone like you.

Hope this account lasts longer than your last one.

You've become far too keen on copping out. Maybe if you actually studied this sort of thing you wouldn't cite ancient greece as an example lol, but lo and behold you'd rather claim to be interested and not discuss it then discuss it with someone whose personality grinds you the wrong way. You can trust me on this Umami, you aren't the best person to talk to either. But some of us can work through those struggles.
